SHOUT TO THE TOP – The Style Council


Intro
12 Bars – F G

Verse 1
Instrumental verse of 14 Bars (same as intro but last two bars in D) – G D

Verse 2
F
I was half in mind, I was half in need

And as the rain came down
                             G
I dropped to my knees and I prayed
F
I said “Oh heavenly thing, please cleanse my soul
                                                G
I’ve seen all on offer and I’m not impressed at all”


Verse 3
F
I was half way home, I was half insane

And every shop window I looked in things
                G
Just looked the same
F
I said “Now send me a sign to save my life

‘cause at this moment in time there’s nothing
                         G
certain in these days of mine”


Bridge
F
You see it’s a frightening little thing

When it dawns upon you
F
That I know as much as the day I was born
F
And though I wasn’t asked

I might as well stay
G
And promise myself each and every day

Verse 4
F
That when you’re knocked on your back

And your life’s a flop

And when your down on the bottom
                         G
There’s nothing else but to


Chorus

Oh we’re gonna shout to the top

we’re gonna shout to the top
G
Hey we’re gonna shout to the top
